Hey @Moose408 appreciate your comment! So funny that your first experience jamming was so similar. There’s always a first time and going in you have no idea what the room is like etc. I thought there would tables to put things on or maybe even music stands. But it’s all good this made me look for a solution and I’m just delighted with the stand I got. I’m using it at home all the time – just perfect.
There are 2 excellent players in the group, an Asian guy (Mike) who plays just like John Mayer – his electric guitar playing was mind blowing. The other guy (Ken) was playing acoustic, also very good but not quite as fabulous as Asian. The leader (Geri) is a female also on electric and she plays well but a few tiers below the other guys. I was next to Dave with his electric, he’s somewhere in between. Lastly there was young Asian girl (Lana) who is closer to my skill level but differently skilled. She was doing more fingerstyle and didn’t know a lot of the older tunes we played except for Fast Car which she did rather well.
I had to leave before the session ended because I was expecting my wife back from a road trip. So I didn’t get a chance to chat with people afterward. Mike most certainly should be getting paid to play, can’t wait to talk to him.
Thanks for the tips, Moose! I’ve been practicing with Hotel California, just single strum and singing the lyrics. I want to get them memorized by the next session. I used to know it back in the 70’s. I still know all the lyrics just not necessarily in the right order. I’ll try to do the same with Simple Man.
